Title: Handling of Deallocation Requests and Castouts in System Having Upper and Lower Level Caches
Inventor: GHAI SANJEEV
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2013-02-25
Abstract: A deallocate request specifying a target address associated with a target cache line is sent from processor core to lower level cache; if the request hits, replacement order of lower level cache is updated such that the target is more likely to be evicted (e.g. making the target line least recently used [LRU]) in response to a subsequent cache miss. On a subsequent miss, the target line is cast out to the lower level cache with an indication that the line was deallocation request target (e.g. by setting a field in directory). The lower level cache may include load and store pipelines, with the deallocation request sent to the load pipeline. The deallocation may be executed at completion of dataset processing. Lower cache may include state machines servicing data requests, with retaining and updating performed without allocation of state machine/s to the request. A previous coherence state of the target may be retained. An interconnect fabric may connect processing units.

Title: A method of controlling the engagement of a starter motor used for starting an engine of a motor vehicle
Inventor: PETRIDIS ANTHEMIOS PHILEMON
IPC: F02N11/08
Filed: 2013-08-30
Abstract: A method of controlling the engagement of a starter motor (1001, fig.5) for starting an engine (1000, fig.5) is disclosed in which, during an engine shut-down period, if a signal indicative of a request for restarting the engine is generated, engagement of the starter motor is prohibited if the engine speed is within a predefined speed range and the speed of the engine is decreasing. The invention seeks to minimise the delay time (t, figs 2a to 4b) between a vehicle drivers change of mind event, during an automated engine shutdown, and the re-start of the engine. When the engagement of the starter is prohibited 220 because engine speed is below a positive threshold 210 then two further checks are made 240 to see if the engine speed is reducing, or if the magnitude of any negative rotation is greater than a negative speed threshold. If either of these checks are failed engagement of the starter is then permitted 260.

Title: Brake control for stop/start vehicle
Inventor: HAI YU
IPC: F02N11/08
Filed: 2015-07-15
Abstract: A vehicle engine is shutdown in response to brake pressure Pbrk exceeding a threshold, and restarted in response to accelerator pedal position exceeding a position threshold. In response to engine shutdown a first brake system increases torque Tehb to a threshold, and when battery voltage V decreases below a threshold the first system decreases torque and another brake system (e.g. electronic parking brake) increases torque Tepb. Driver intent is evaluated based on brake pressure and torque (fig 5) or acceleration demand (fig. 6); while the time the brakes can hold a vehicle on a hill before engine restart in maximised based on battery voltage (fig. 7) or a change in brake fluid pressure (fig. 8). Thus the lower electrical energy demanding parking brake system is used later.
